This shaft maybe turned by hand, or by means of worm gear 58 and shaft 59 with aclutch 6O driven from gears and sprockets 24 and 26. Thisarrangementallows to raise or to lower the brackets and 46 according to therequirements of the work.

In addition to this adjustment the yokes 49 and can rotate on the axlehubs within certain limits. For this purpose they are provided withelongated slots 61 for bolts 62. A bar 63 is attached to the axle flange51 and isconnected with a spring 64' attached to the yoke 49 or 50-. Thespring tends to relieve the weight of the binding deck and of the frame1 in order to facilitate their passage over rough or inclined ground; Abar 65 attached totheyoke 49 provides a supporting point for thespring64. V

-The above described gears and sprockets obtain their power from anextension 66 of L" the driving i shaft of the tractor through is readyto be set in operation, he lowers again the frame and thereehadjustingthe height of the rear wheel 2 by the handle 3 and 0f the binding deckSby turning the screws 54. V-Vhen the adjustments'are completed heengages 'the clutch 71 on the shaft 29 thereby starting the rotation ofthe gears and sprockets described.

The gear 28 has an excentrically located pin 7 3 engaging a pitman 74pivotally connected at the end with a cutter bar 7 5 of an ordinaryconstruction. This cutter bar is supported by'the frame 1 and moves withit up or down in accordance with the contour of the ground, also withtheverti'cal adjustment of the rear wheel. a

Theheight of the reel 84 is adjusted by moving the sleeve 42-on theshaft 16.

The stalks of grain, cut by the cutter bar and picked up by the reel,are carried by the belt conveyor land moved to the binding deck 8 by theroller 7; On the binding deck theyare bound and-tied in bundles ordumped in bundles without tying. The mechanism for the tying and dumpingis not shown, being asubj ectof a separate p at'en't applicationImportant advantages of my binder are pendent movements for the framewith cutter bar and conveyor, so that my binder can be used in a roughand hilly country, on the sides of slopes etc.

The reel strictly follows the frame, their parallel alignment "beingautomatic. They both can be raised for transportation, and the raisinginto an inoperative position can be'easily done bythe-operator by meansof suitable levers, the weight of the frame being relieved to anydesired degree by means of springs in hinged joints.
